Two BJP leaders, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Revenue Minister Chandrashekar Bawankule, who is also the Maharashtra BJP president, took a swipe at Shiv Sena (UBT) Member of Parliament (MP) Sanjay Raut over controversial references he made about the central BJP leadership in his book ‘Heaven in Hell’ (Narkatla Swarg). Asked by the media to react to the contents of the book, Fadnavis replied sarcastically, “I am at an age where I do not read children’s literature.”

On Saturday, May 17, the book penned by Raut, a Rajya Sabha member, which deals with the time he spent in jail following his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on allegations of money laundering, will be released in Mumbai.
